Ninth ECE Career Fair Attracts 49 Employers, More Than 700 Students

The 9th annual Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Career Fair attracted 49 employers and more than 700 students on February 8, 2013 in the Jeong H. Kim Engineering Building. For the first time, the career fair booths were stationed on the first and second floors of the Kim Building to accommodate the number of employers interested in hiring ECE students.

The participating employers offered opportunities for internships and co-ops, as well as full-time positions. The department invited all ECE, Telecommunications, and Computer Science undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students to attend. Snacks and beverages were offered in the student lounge all day. Lunch for employers and volunteers was provided by a College Park restaurant, Big Play, co-owned by ECE alumnus, Andre Hopson (EE ’04).
